Favites in trouble?

Any experts on favites?

Don't know whether I am being alarmist or not... The favites arrived a week ago and has looked fairly happy. Just yesterday it looked a little different and I don't know whether it's a good different or a bad different. Around some of the polyps the ridges are glowing more under actinics and I am not sure if some polyps are looking more shrunken? Have tried to post a link below (picture is not the greatest) - will also post another pic of the coral a few days ago...

And now the same coral under daylight (taken from a different angle)

And a FTS which has a comparable viewpoint of the same coral....

I am not an expert, but I wouldn't be too alarmed at this point. Keep an eye on it over the next few days.

Fwiw, my favites looks a little funky every once in a while...but for all I know my cleaner shrimp was running over it right before I came down to look at the tank.
